This study attempted to investigate whether there are differences in knowledge about the environment and eco-friendly purchasing behavior based on gender and education. Data were collected using questionnaire containing questions about environmental knowledge and eco-friendly behavior based on previous research. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive and quantitative techniques. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was used to determine the influence of gender and education level of knowledge and eco-friendly behavior. Results of univariate model testing found that in terms of gender, the gender differences found significant influence on both purchase decisions of environmentally friendly and environmental knowledge. While the the education level influence on of environmental knowledge, but it does not affect the environmentally friendly purchasing decisions. Based on these findings, it is expected that integrate relevant aspects of environmental conservation in all levels of education, and so is strengthening the role of each gender to support the creation of an enabling environment both for current and future generations.

Environmental issues have risen to the level of a serious problem in today's society. As a result, over the last decade, public awareness about the importance of environmental sustainability has steadily increased as a result of increased media exposure, increased awareness of environmental issues, the impact of major industrial disasters, and the efforts of environmental activist groups. On the other hand, there is little information available about environmentally friendly online purchasing behavior, particularly when it comes to personal care and toiletry products. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence customer online purchasing behavior toward Indonesian personal care and toiletries that are environmentally friendly, as well as to make recommendations for environmentally friendly shops based on the purchasing behavior of its customers. This study employs a quantitative approach, with data collected through an online survey method, and PLS-SEM used to assess the correlations among the variables in the study. It appears that environmental concern, environmental knowledge, and environmental awareness have a favorable impact on online purchasing intentions, as demonstrated by the findings. Environmental knowledge, on the other hand, has a favorable impact on people's online purchase behavior. The findings of this research are expected to benefit the Environmentally Friendly community as well as Environmentally Friendly marketers by increasing their understanding of how to maximize the Environmentally Friendly shop.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to point out the perceptions of the student population toward environmentally friendly products and examine if they are willing to pay higher prices for those products. Methodology: The research conducted in the second half of 2020 included the student population, i.e. a sample of 114 respondents. The close-ended questions offered answers ranging from the level of knowledge related to general concepts to the factors related to purchasing decisions. Data were collected through an online survey. The collected data were analyzed by statistical software packages MedCalc Statistical Software version 19.1.7 and SPSS. Results: Respondents are familiar with the concepts of sustainable development, a socially responsible business and green consumers, which they define correctly. There are no major differences between male and female respondents. When choosing a product, respondents of both genders mention product quality as the most important factor. The second most important factor is the price, followed by the brand of the product and the environmental friendliness of the product. The brand of the product and environmental acceptability of the product are somewhat more important to male respondents than to female respondents. Corporate social responsibility of the company that produces a product is described as least important by respondents of both genders when choosing a product. Conclusion: It is evident that the student population changed their attitudes towards environmentally friendly products compared to year 2009, but the trend has not changed since 2015. It is a market segment that takes into account this factor when choosing a product.

The percentage of children with vitamin D deficiency in Poland is alarming. The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge about sources of food and the function of vitamin D, as well as the frequency of its supplementation. A survey was conducted among the parents of children from Central Poland attending primary schools, and a questionnaire containing mainly open-ended questions was used to collect the data. Most mothers knew at least one of the functions of vitamin D in the body but had a low level of knowledge about its dietary sources. Only a small group of respondents supplemented themselves and their children with vitamin D. Statistically significant influences on the level of knowledge about the functions and sources of vitamin D were place of residence (i.e., better knowledge in the countryside) and mothers’ level of education (i.e., the better educated, the greater knowledge). In the case of monthly income level, such impact was observed only in relation to the knowledge of vitamin D functions. Concerning the frequency of supplementation, only maternal level of education had a statistically significant effect (i.e., the higher the education level, the higher the frequency of supplementation). In addition, mothers who were aware of functions of vitamin D and nutritional sources, significantly more frequently supplemented vitamin D.

Qigong meditation is an ancient form of meditation that has been linked with various health benefits. We were interested in whether or not this form of meditation has a relationship with personality. To this end, we administered the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) to eighty Qigong meditation practitioners and seventy-four non-practitioners. The results showed that the number of years of Qigong practice was negatively correlated with neuroticism, but there was no relationship with extraversion. Even after controlling for age, gender, and education level, the practitioners were significantly less neurotic than the nonpractitioners. The study of Qigong meditation and personality may lead to a greater understanding of the various disorders characterized by high neuroticism, and may provide a viable treatment option for long-term health.

Abstract The observed researcher: opportunities and challenges for observational research among corporate investigators This contribution discusses observational research within the context of corporate investigations. Corporate investigators are themselves keen observers of human behavior, and as such, observation of these professionals results in an interesting researcher-participant dynamic. By playing with (assumed and ascribed) roles, much information can be gathered about the daily reality of corporate investigators and how they experience this. Building trust is both essential and challenging because of professional skepticism, however, once trust was established, participants actively contributed to the research. By assuming ignorance or, conversely, knowledge in a dynamic manner, the researcher was able to make use of the roles ascribed to her based on age, gender and education level.
